Google's Orkut Social Network Hacked

A fast-moving cross-site scripting worm spread overnight through Google's Orkut social network, infecting users who viewed the emails or Orkut messages carrying its payload. The victims didn't even have to click on a link to be infected.

The worm, which used Flash-based JavaScript malware and took advantage of an XSS vulnerability in Orkut, added the victims to its rogue Orkut community, reportedly called "Infectados pelo Virus do Orkut," which at one point today had captured hundreds of thousands of involuntary members.

Scraps, or message posts to an Orkut user's profile, were the main culprit. Victims either got alerts from Orkut that they had a new entry to their scrapbook, or received emails from other Orkut friends who also had been infected. The worm was adding members to its rogue Orkut community at a rate of about 100 per minute at one time during the attack.

Orkut fixed the XSS bug earlier today, but according to OrkutPlus, a security community within the social network, the vulnerability was still active in Orkut's so-called sandbox profiles as of this posting. Google's Orkut sandboxes are closed "containers" for Orkut members, such as developers testing out applications.

The hacker behind the attack appears to have unleashed the worm to prove a point: to show how easy it is to use JavaScript and XSS to infect multiple users quickly. The attacker wrote a message in Portuguese on the rogue community site -- translated, it says: "This just to show how orkut may be dangerous, you came up here without clicking absolutely no link malicious, everything was done reading scraps." The message also said that no data was stolen in the attack.

Security experts say there was no malicious activity associated with the worm -- mostly it just was an annoyance to the infected users and their friends that caught the worm from them. "It's just a proof-of-concept, but had it been real, it could have harvested hundreds of thousands of Google accounts," says one researcher who was infected by the attack. "The attack didn't do anything malicious; it was there to prove a point. All it did was join you to a specific Orkut group."

Researcher David Maynor, CTO of Errata Security, says he got multiple Orkut-related email messages from a fellow researcher, but didn't open them and wasn't infected. He says the messages looked suspicious: "It was completely unsolicited, plus I got more than one in a very short [period] of time," Maynor says.

Christmas Gadget Wishlist

1. PMP Belt

Image Sources - Harvey Nichols , Shure

This gadget will have a PMP (Personal Media Player, in case you were wondering) as a belt buckle. I realize it would be a bit funny looking down there to watch a movie, so obviously it should be detachable. I'd like it to have a mini USB port with a cable that could be embedded into the belt itself. It should have at least a 2.5 inch QVGA display and a minimum capacity of 4GB, but I'll leave that to your discretion. Of course it should be able to play music, which I should be able to listen to via stereo Bluetooth i.e. A2DP and I should also be able to view my JPEGs. Could you also throw in Wi-Fi? Thanks. Oh, and one last thing, I'd like the belt to be made of black leather please.

2. Stress Buster / Charger

Image Sources - Skyline

Next on my list is a stress buster. You know, the ones that you squeeze in your palm if you're angry or pissed off with something or someone? Now I know that's really easy to find in almost any toy store or department store but mine is going to be special. The thing is, I'm a bit of a hothead, so I figure I could put that stress to good use. What I have in mind is a stress buster that can convert the stress I put into squeezing into energy that could charge my gadgets. It should have one port or many (again I leave the design up to you) which could have various connectors that would fit my mobile phone, PSP or any other device that needs to be charged. It'll make a great portable charger, wouldn't you say?

3. Pen Projector

I love watching videos on my PMPs and mobile phones but the screens tend to be a bit small. So what I figure is some sort of gadget small and light enough to plug into my device that would project the image on to any flat surface. I know that some guys at Motorola are already developing an in-phone projector, but I'd like to be different. I think a pen-like device would be perfect. Simply plug it into the device's AV-out and point it at a clean wall. What say, Santa?

I'm not going to be greedy and ask for much more; not right now anyway. But if my readers do send me any great gizmo ideas and I forward them to you, perhaps you could have those made too? Have a Merry Christmas, Santa, and see you on the 25th.

LOL :)) --- Chutiya Kingdom---Wierd

The Chutiya kingdom^[1] was established by Birpal in 1187 in northeastern Assam, with the capital at Sadiya. The Chutiya are an indigenous ethnic group that speak a Tibeto-Burman language. According to tradition, Birpal at first became the chief of sixty families.

The most illustrious of the Chutiya kings was Gauri Narayan (Ratnadhwajpal), son of Birpal. He brought many other Chutiya groups into his kingdom. In 1224 Ratnadhwajpal defeated Bhadrasena, the king of Swetagiri. Then he went on to subjugate Nyayapal and marched toward Kamatapur, where he formed an alliance with the Kamata ruler by marrying a princess. Then he marched to Dhaka, and camped some distance away from the city. Though records exist of this expedition, there is no account of a war at Dhaka.

The hostilities with the Ahoms began in 1376 when the Ahom king, Sutuphaa, was killed by the Chutiya king during a friendly encounter. The simmering dispute often flared till 1522 when the Ahoms finally took Sadiya and killed the then king Nityapal. The Ahoms established their rule by instituting the position of Sadiyakhowa Gohain, the governor in charge of Sadiya. But the Chutiya had dispersed to frontier regions, and continued raids against the Ahoms. This finally stopped in 1673 when the Chutiyas finally accepted Ahom overlordship.

Sony Ericsson K660

The K660 is a new launch from Sony Ericsson that hasn’t yet made it officially into the Indian market. But being who I am and knowing the people I do, I managed to get my paws on a prototype test piece. Of course it didn’t come with the full kit, so I can give you only a preview. Here’s what I can let you in on for now.

Design
The K660 is a good-looking candybar phone that's available in some cool colors. It has a certain good-to-hold feeling, so it’s not like other Sony Ericssons. Thankfully there’s no sticky joystick but a very easy-to-maneuver 5 way nav-pad. The buttons and keys are very well placed and easily accessible. The phone is lightweight and the 2-inch display with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels is really crisp.

Features
The K660 doesn’t have any features that will make it stand out amidst other Sony Ericsson phones. It comes with regular business features like calendar, notes, schedules, stopwatch, timer etc. As for connectivity, it’s 3G-enabled with HSDPA and has a VGA camera in front for video calls. Also available are EDGE and Bluetooth with A2DP compatibility. It comes with Google Maps preinstalled.

The K660 has 32MB of internal memory and supports M2 cards for external memory. The phone, as Sony Ericsson phones go, is not too fast. Moving through menus, typing messages etc. will reveal that. The music player is not too good - it’s just way too silent to listen to unless you're in a soundproof room. It does have a fairly decent integrated FM radio. I like the new Gallery menu: it may be slow but it's definitely better-looking than the older versions.

The 2 megapixel camera is decent. If you like playing with or touching up your images, the PhotoDJ software is really handy and a lot of fun to use. As in all Sony Ericssons, this too has a VideoDJ for editing video files and a MusicDJ for creating ringtones. The games may not be too great but they are entertaining. TrackId is also available.

Battery life is quite good. With normal usage you’ll get a little over a day and a half on a single charge.

I like this phone simply because of the look-good and feel-good factors. Its functions aren't impressive or unique when compared to other Sony Ericsson phones, but the features are adequate. My first impression is: if it’s a mid-range phone, it’s great. Look for it in 2008, hopefully in the first quarter.

Sennheiser PXC 350

Great passive noise cancellation Clear sound, even at full volume Impressive build quality

A little expensive Noise induced by active circuit

Who hasn't heard of the Sennheiser brand? Stand up so we can see you, as you would seriously be one of a kind. Especially if you're into any kind of multimedia or audio, you would have definitely held, heard, or seen Sennheiser headphones. The brand is now resolutely in India, and gung-ho about promoting its products.

As for the noise cancellation game, Sennheiser has led tournaments and won them in some cases. This new offering, the PXC 350, is a notch below the ultra high-end PXC 450 that we reviewed some time ago. But it sure looks as good and worthwhile as the rest. Its actual effectiveness is what I intend to check, and tell you about. So read on.

Design
Open the gray box and you get a plastic mold holding the cans firmly in place, along with a black carry case bearing a Sennheiser leather patch in the center. A compact and easy-to-read manual is included, besides converters for different applications. Black is the predominant color. Hard plastic forms the outer covering for the drivers and headphone, while a soft black cushion lines the inner surface of the band and form comfortable ear pads for the large oval cans.

The left and right ear cups both have slots for battery insertion, so that's a first. The active NoiseGard circuit on the left cup gets activated by an on/off slider switch placed on the bottom. When slid on, a small red LED is exposed. Such are the small design fancies that impress in their own way.

NoiseGard is a proprietary name given to the same technology that all these headphones use. Basically, sound up to 1 kHz is filtered out by an out-of-phase wave generated by the circuit. The reference for this wave is the background noise around your ears, which is picked up by mics in the circuit.

Sounds fancy? You bet, but this same technology has certain drawbacks, which I will mention only if I encounter them in the course of my test.

Cheaper models just don’t seem to get it right, but that is another story – Sennheiser prices are not low. To quickly run through the specs: this is your basic dynamic transducer type, with a closed-back, circumaural design. The rated frequency response is quite vast at 8-28,000 Hz, though 108 dB SPL for the sound power sounds good. The amp THD is at 0.10% which seems quite high, but other brands do not even provide this rating, which should give you a taste of Sennheiser’s professionalism.

Performance
We plugged the headphones into my main PC at my desk, probably the noisiest place in the world. The music reference was an assortment of MP3s, FLAC, and also good old jazz CDs. Before even starting the circuit, I found the passive noise cancellation quite phenomenal. At least 30 dB of background was reduced, leaving just low hums and vocal murmurs.

Still in off-mode, the bass was nice and round, and in perfect tandem with the timing part of things. Mids and highs too were very sweet-sounding, with a nice laidback feel to the overall sound. This is signature Sennheiser: the sound is never in your face, it’s just powerful and pure.

On the flip side, I have to say that the highest volume wasn’t as loud as in some other models I have checked in the past.

Coming to the NC circuit: we turned it on, and lo! You feel five pounds lighter in the head. Especially when the music is off, the peculiar feeling of not hearing any background noise is a subject that deserves an entire article to it. But these circuits are always noisy, and this was no exception. I'm afraid I will have to reduce points because the amp hiss and a high-frequency hum was clearly audible.

The music was perceived as sharper when in active mode. But insistent chatter and irritating giggles never quite went away; even this baby could not eliminate that kind of noise.

Conclusion
All in all, I like these headphones a lot for their build quality, ergonomic design and sound. Ironically, they appear to sound better in passive mode. In active mode, the low buzz of background noise is definitely abolished, but the inherent noise of the system is a turn-off. At Rs 19,900 (MRP) it’s a tough call, but if you are an audio purist you might want to check these out.

Motorola Unveils MotoMING A1600

After the success of the MotoMING A1200, Motorola has announced that version 2 is on its way. The new MING, the A1600, appears to have a similar design but is a bit squarish with a similar transparent flip casing. It will be 3G-enabled, come equipped with Wi-Fi and AGPS, and retain its touchscreen feature, but will have a newer Linux UI.

Another upgrade is with the camera. The A1600 will boast a 3.2 megapixel, auto-focus camera with an LED flash. The CPU has also undergone an upgrade, so it should naturally be faster. The phone will be approximately 17.5 mm thick, so it's going to be slimmer than the original. No pricing or availability has been announced yet.

Nokia Gets Health Conscious

For the health conscious mobile user, Nokia has decided to ‘Step’ up and join the other mobile manufacturers like Sony Ericsson and develop an application for the regular jogger/walker. The Nokia Activity Monitor is designed to display charts and statistics, in real-time, about your movements while walking or running. It’s currently applicable only with the N95 and N95 8GB.

What this application does is count the number of steps the user takes and then determines the distance covered and the energy spent. The application also stores a summary of your workouts for comparison. The steps are detected by analyzing the output from the accelerometer in a S60 smart phone. What Nokia recommends, to avoid registering false steps, is to have your mobile device either strapped to your belt or in your pocket. Preferably not in your bag or purse.

Your mobile device must have enough storage either in your device or a memory card. On the down side the Activity Monitor does make good use of the mobile’s battery so you will have to keep tabs on your battery meter.

More information and the application itself can be downloaded from here.

aigo iSonic MP3 Glasses

Good sound Sturdy build

Lens flip looks funny Prolonged use may cause headaches Earphones are irreplaceable

We've been seeing some revolutionary technologies lately. Not on some techblog either; we called them in, tried them out, and got a hang of true Chinese-style innovation. Often I have found no use for many of these contraptions. such as the MP4 watch that requires you to hold your hand up at a rather inconvenient viewing angle akin to the 80s TV program 'Giant Robot'. This we shall feature in a few days. Right now the object that holds my fascination happens to be the aigo iSonic MP3 sunglasses.

Although this isn’t the first of its kind to come into being, nor the only one we've laid our hands on, it still finds itself in a rather niche spot. For the most part, products like this don’t have the versatility and flamboyance to meet everyone’s fashion sense. For another, there’s a long way to go before such products are perfected to strike a harmonious balance between utility and comfort.

The pair in question here come in a light brown tint firmly placed in what feels like nylon fiber frame. You can flip the lenses and according to promotional material there's mention of a certain number of changeable lenses, yet we couldn’t lay our hands on a single one.

Now to talk about what you would really be buying this for — the music. It’s surprisingly good. Surprising because they really didn’t pay too much attention to the ergonomics, but have provided a good warm sound. I like the fact that it’s pretty loud for outdoor listening, since I don’t see why anyone should wear this indoors at all. You can always flip the lens when you listen to music at night. This will make you look quite silly though.

You cannot replace the earphones, but the existing ones (that when left dangling looks like sidelocks) are good. The bass is quite effective and there's not a lot of treble response. Just the way I like it.

It comes with precious few buttons, because you have to use them while the glasses are on. Each button has a dual function, and these are easy to remember. The pair we got comes in 512MB, although you can also get these glasses in 1GB capacity as well.

I tried these glasses on ten different people, and only one managed to carry them off with aplomb. The rest, including me, looked like nincompoops. That's the problem with such accessories; you can choose them only if they suit you. For biking purposes, I think they will work just fine though.

The aigo iSonic MP3 sunglasses cost Rs 6,000. This is quite steep, considering they are rather uncomfortable and can give you a headache in a few minutes. If you are an outdoorsy kind of a guy it makes some sense, otherwise imagine sitting at your desk in office wearing these!

Moreover, consider this: if the earphone breaks or retires, you'll have to throw the whole kit away. And much as I hate to say this, you'll have to resign yourself to using them as regular sunglasses.

Logitech Wireless DJ Music System

Looks Features Performance

Overvalued

Logitech is a regular guest at our Tech2 lab; in fact its products almost seem to walk in on their own will these days. One thing is for sure – they're always welcome! Just a month back its Wireless DJ System was launched in the market, and caught my eye instantly. And before I knew it the product was on my desk grinning at me.

We exchanged a few pleasantries (after you review so many products you really can converse with them – or am I losing my mind?) Basically I asked the sleek little thing about its existence, about its predecessors etc. I learned this is a new model in its own right, and not a direct upgrade from the previous wireless models released by Logitech.

It also seemed to imply that it's better than anything else in its class, but I drew the line at that. That’s for me to find out...

Design and Features
Logitech products, at least the newer ones, look brilliant. Even the previously reviewed Harmony remote was a stunner, and so is the wireless DJ system. The ‘system’ consists of mainly a remote, a charger-cum-receiver, and a USB transmitter. Besides that you have the regular software setup CD, manuals, wires etc.

The color of the exterior is black and faux finished aluminum, shine levels being very mild. The remote is long and slim, with a removable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery that conducts in its bottom quarter. The buttons are arranged well, mainly around a centric dotted scroll wheel placed bang in the center of the front panel.

The two main buttons are for menu and home, and there are two playlist organizer buttons called ‘Dj’. On top of this matrix are three transport buttons, being on the silvery side, while the former are black. On a bottom strip are small round buttons for volume and mute.

The Logitech logo is ubiquitous, but never does it detract from the class of the design. The top half has a two-inch monochrome LCD display. Once switched on, the screen radiates a lovely blue hue, though I would have preferred a nice multicolored screen as in the Harmony 1000. The other components are simple in their aluminum finish, and bear just the logo.

Looks Features Performance

Overvalued

Performance
The setup is much simpler than in previous Logitech devices; you have to just insert the CD in and click 5-6 ‘Next’ buttons. During setup itself it asks you what software and folders you want to synchronize with, so later on the remote screen displays ID3 info etc.

The total time needed for this was three minutes, and I was good to go. The system works quite simply – as in, you have to first plug in the Bluetooth adapter to a USB port, and then plug in the receiver wherever your main music system is. The receiver also charges the remote, so that's cool.

Once the system was set up, we proceeded to just turn it on, and of course blast the music to annoy everyone in the vicinity. The unit works perfectly at all places in the sphere of the transmitter, except at one spot, behind my CPU on the other end of the office (about 50 feet) there was some glitches in the sound.

This may have been a fault of the radio frequency disturbances, or due to my PC running some other software at the same time. To check the latter I stripped down to just streaming, and it was still there. Plus the stated range of Logitech is not happening; it’s less than 150 feet. The killer thing is that walls and glass don’t do sh*t to the sound, it's as clear as if it were one foot away.

The good thing is that DRM protected songs stream perfectly and, even better, there is a PC mode by which you can play almost any sound on your PC (which means Internet radio and all that). Last.fm streams and few others also come in with ease.

Conclusion
At Rs 15,995, the Logitech wireless DJ music system is not cheap. Like with the wireless remote, the unit will lose points for this. However, some sites quote $100 prices, so I don’t know what the scene is. But hear this – if you can afford it, go for it; it’s great.

Aigo H2 Earphones

Good bass Clear overall sound No distortion Sound leaks due to its design

Run a Google search for "H2 earphone" and the first three sites are in Japanese, so we were a bit hamstrung in our quest to learn more about the product. I did know that H2 is a fairly new Japanese manufacturer of PMPs, headphones, and a really cool solar charger that charges your gadgets on the go. You also have MP3 watches and other interesting stuff. All this lowdown we got from the aigo UK website.

Uniqueness is something that's given a serious thrust by this company. The H2 earphones we received proved to be a one-of-a-kind piece. Read on to find out why.

Design
This earphone has a unique two-in-one design, which incorporates both the regular design along with the newer canal phone design. Each channel has two drivers fixed back to back. One side culminates in the canal phone insertion, with the rubber padding, while the other side is a regular earphone. So you can choose your style of listening, and turn each earphone by a 180-degree planar horizontal axis. Extra pairs of rubber pads are shipped for the in-ear portion.

The build quality and appearance of the unit are impressive. The wires are a regular black, though they lead out to a nice gun metal finish for the transducer(s) casing. Everything seems multiplied by two! As I said, black predominates: the front of both ends are black, the canal phone comprises black rubber, and black plastic makes up the earphone end.

Performance
We plugged it into an iPod, a Creative Zen, a Philips GoGear and many other PMPs that we had lying around. The first impression was very good, and most of the humor induced in the beginning by the design actually turned into appreciation. The bass response was the highlight of the event, which was well-timed and pumping enough by earphone standards. The sound from the earphone side was better and, at equal volumes, the earphone side sounded a little more flat and clear.

The canal phone side fits in comfortably, and the sound is also pretty good. The only thing is that the mids and low mids are a little too heavy for my taste. The bass is good, and sound isolation is better than in some active designs I have reviewed in the past, but that again is a feature of the canal phone design itself.

One obvious drawback is that sound leaks when you're listening, as at any point in time one side sticks out facing away from your ears. This stream of sound is not too loud; imagine a earphone kept in the open and that’s the approximate volume. Of course, pesky neighbors may come too close and try to overhear what you are listening to.

Conclusion
This is one of those products that came to us by sheer chance, and it definitely surpassed our expectations with its nice sound quality and levels. It costs only Rs 600, so I think it’s a good buy, unless perhaps you commute by motorbike – it may be tough to wear a helmet because of the protrusions.

Nokia 5610 XpressMusic

Good camera, with flash Music player offers good sound Stylish form factor Fast UI Voice clarity is brilliant

Battery cover not easy to open

Nokia's newly launched phones with the Xpressmusic series tag have been the talk of the town for quite some time. Luckily for Nokia, the decision to remain low profile on the marketing strategy and market hype has worked wonders. Sort of like the underdog, the phones have generated enough curiosity in the consumers' mind.

In a change from the dozens of phones that Nokia floods the market with, the 5610 does seem a refreshingly different, and pretty stylish.

The phone, available in red and blue color schemes, features a sliding form factor, with an interestingly useful music dial that slides to either side and offers a change from the norm. The phone is quite sleek in its own right, boasting dimensions of 98.5 x 48.5 x 17 mm. It's pretty lightweight too.

The five-way D-Pad that also makes up the play/pause button is surrounded by the open keys and the call, cancel buttons. This flat-surface touch given to these keys really feels nice. The keypad on the inside is equally easy to use and responsive.

The fact that it uses a microUSB adhering to the protocol of the newly adopted "industry standards" gives you the feeling of staying in the loop. The rear of the phone has a black rugged look, and has the camera, a flash and the Nokia logo in blue (or red, if that's the color of the phone).

The phone features the Series 40 OS, and is essentially a music phone (hence the XpressMusic tag). For old Nokia users, this is like a getting better, faster phone that's been stripped down to suit current trends.

Navigation is pretty simple, and you will find all your useful applications scattered on the main screen. This makes for a "keep, grab and use" action, so you don't have to go hunting in the menu.

The 2.2-inch TFT screen is quite bright and clear, and can display upto16M colors (240 x 320 pixels). It takes a microSD card, which will require you to take off the battery cover to access. Now this is a real bitch! It's something that really sucks about the phone. The whole act of taking the battery cover off gives you the impression of pulling the phone apart. You have to literally pry it off.

The phone is equipped with a voice recorder, which has a warm reception. As far as features are concerned, it's like any other series 40 phone. To make websurfing fun, the phone comes equipped with Opera Mini browser. You can open more than one page at a time.

To talk about the music, which is probably why you are looking at buying the 5610, Nokia has paid a lot of detail to make the music bit very user-friendly. Apart from a dedicated dial to access the radio and music player, the phone also comes bundled with the 2.5mm to 3.5mm converter cable. You can buy a better pair of headphones if you wish, and you are ready to go.

If I have to compare this phone with another of its kind in the market, then I would opt for the Sony Ericsson W580i. This Nokia sports similar features and fits the bill aptly. It's loud and clear, and the sound is evenly balanced. The bundled earphones may lead you to think the phone is bad at dealing out the lows, but with the Bose Quite Comfort I had a blast. Obviously, this proves that you can stretch the sound to its full potential.

One good thing about the phone is that where music is concerned you will never be disappointed. Even the phone speakers can emit sound loud and clear enough, which is nice.

Good camera, with flash Music player offers good sound Stylish form factor Fast UI Voice clarity is brilliant Battery cover not easy to open

While the other phones in the XpressMusic category are quite similar, the 5610 differs in terms of its camera. It has a 3.2MP camera, which is surprisingly quite good. It offers various effects like grayscale, sepia etc, and also effective white balance options. I have always been of the opinion that phones have mediocre cameras, but what I like about the 5610 is that the pictures taken were clear and vibrant. The amount of detailing was surprisingly better than most cameras, and it helps that the pictures aren't "washed out" at all.

The FM radio happens to be the most effective I've heard lately. Even indoors the reception was brilliant. I also liked the featured RDS and AF, technologies that you often see only in car stereos. To explain it in brief, RDS allows small amounts of data to be transmitted using "conventional FM radio broadcasts". In this case it makes use of AF (alternative frequency), which allows the phone to look for a different frequency of the station you are listening to when the signal is weak.

Battery life is not that great though. For a music phone, one would expect the battery to conk off after prolonged use, but manufacturers should probably realize that stronger battery life means dependability. In this case, you have to charge every evening, if you are listening to about 2 hours of music through the day. The Sony Ericsson W580i offers more in this regard.

This is the phone you should pick up if you are a hardcore Nokia fan and want an excellent music player, period! Apart from that the 5610 has style, a fast interface and is up to date as far as connectivity is concerned. Its street price is approximately Rs 13,200, so if you have made up your mind, I'd say go for it!
